After the carriage stopped, Zhuge Jin stood up and stepped on the small stool handed over by Hu Ben and got off the carriage. Ma Dai also turned over and got off the horse.

Ma Dai looked at Hu Zhen honestly, with a slightly weird expression.

Although they were both from Xiliang, Ma Dai and Hu Zhen were not very familiar with each other and could not pee in the same pot.

Hu Zhen was a little chilled by Ma Dai. What does this guy think I'm doing?

"I've seen an angel." Hu Zhen took a breath and led the crowd to salute.

"General Hu, General Chen, General Ma." Zhuge Jin led Ma Dai to salute the three generals in turn.

After seeing each other, everyone entered the tent and spoke. Hu Zhen asked Zhuge Jin to sit at the seat. Zhuge Jin said he didn't dare and sat on the left. Ma Dai stood beside Zhuge Jin. He had a sword in his hand and looked at Hu Zhen frequently.

"This time I came here on order to convey the edict of Your Majesty." After sitting down, Zhuge Jin did not continue to greet Hu Zhen and others. He took out the three edicts first and placed them on his knees.

There are not so many etiquettes in Liang State.

Zhuge Jin read out the edict in just one book after another.

Zhuge Jin picked up the edict belonging to Chen Deng and read it out in one breath. The roughly meaning was that Chen Deng was brave and resourceful and was granted the title of Duting Hou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Deng stood up, thanked Zhuge Jin, bent down and took the edict with his hands, and retreated to sit down in his seat. There was no joy on his face, only he was not arrogant or impatient. But his eyes were staring at Zhuge Jin's remaining edict.

Your Majesty, how will he deal with Hu Zhen’s matter?

It should be scolded?

Chen Deng thought to himself.

Ma Chao looked at the remaining edicts a little restlessly. I have worked so hard in this battle, so I should be able to be a marquis, right?

Sure enough, Zhuge Jin took out Ma Chao's edict and continued to read the long edict in one breath. The general content was.

Ma Chao made great contributions in fighting and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Chao was overjoyed, thanked loudly, stepped forward and bent down, and took the edict.

"It's my turn." Seeing Chen Deng and Ma Chao and both were granted titles to marquis because of their military achievements this time, Hu Zhen was immediately overjoyed. He had already been granted titles to marquis, either increasing the number of fiefs, or rewarding treasures, mansions, etc. He didn't want to have the beauty anymore, and the beauty was enjoyed by Zhang Xiu himself.

Zhuge Jin looked down at the last edict and sighed lightly. He didn't pick it up. He was talented and had a good memory. He could recite every word on this edict.

"Hu Zhen............ die!!!"

The edict was still very long, and Zhuge Jin read it out in one breath, and the most important thing was the last two words, which were given death.

It seemed as if thunder was thundering on the ground, except for Ma Dai, Zhuge Jin, Chen Deng, Ma Chao and Hu Zhen were shocked.

Death is given?!!! Are you wrong?

Not to mention Hu Zhen was stunned, even Ma Chao and Chen Deng were also. Ma Chao could not understand why Hu Zhen was in charge of the camp and won the war but was sentenced to death.

Chen Deng didn't expect that he thought Zhang Xiu would scold Hu Zhen and make Hu Zhen feel better.

It is also possible to remove Hu Zhen’s official position and let him go back to Luoyang for retirement.

But death is given...

Chen Deng reacted the fastest and bowed to Zhuge Jin and said, "Angel, although General Hu is at fault, is it too much to just give him death like this? Please do not execute the angel, wait for me to go to Huai County to see Your Majesty."

Ma Chao didn't say a word, he wouldn't speak to Hu Zhen.

Zhuge Jin glanced at Chen Deng indifferently. It was you who wrote Hu Zhen’s book on the above, and is you who pleaded with him now?

Hu Zhen's expression changed from joy to shock, and finally to panic, and his face turned from rosy to pale, and finally to ashen. His legs became weak.

He thought that Zhang Xiu would reward him and praise him, but he never thought that Zhang Xiu would kill him...

杀了他....

How is this possible?

He is a fellow villager of Xiliang general and Zhang Xiu. Not to mention Dong Zhuo at that time, just after Zhang Xiu took charge of the government, he followed Zhang Xiu to fight south and north, without any contribution, and he also worked hard, right?

That's right. He has a little bit of pride in his credit, but he hasn't been too proud of himself. What's wrong with me being a little bit proud?

我为梁国流过血,我为陛下流过汗啊.

Hu Zhen was shocked and sweated coldly, and then he reacted.

He now holds a large army, but his first reaction is not to resist, but to beg for mercy.

"Ange. As General Chen said. Please give me a horse, and I will apologize to Your Majesty." Hu Zhen stood up, kneeled in front of Zhuge Jin with his legs, begging.

Hu Zhen was somewhat rebellious, but he did not dare to resist Zhang Xiu and the current powerful Liang Kingdom.

请罪还有一线生机,反抗死路一条啊.

Zhuge Jin looked at Hu Zhen kneeling on the ground begging and Chen Deng who was begging, and felt unbearable. Hu Zhen was really wronged.

"No." At this moment, Ma Dai shouted, raised the sword in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty's edict, how can you resist? Your Majesty has an edict, and ordered me to kill you immediately. If you don't follow, kill me, and kill the clan."

"ah!!!"

Hu Zhen, Chen Deng, and Zhuge Jin were all dumbfounded. There was really no room for anything left? Ma Chao narrowed his eyes, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked at Hu Zhen coldly.

Even if Ma Chao didn't stare at Hu Zhen, Hu Zhen would not dare to resist.

"Your Majesty." Hu Zhen kowtowed to the north in tears, then his calf trembled, stood up tremblingly, reached out to take the sword in Ma Dai's hand.

Even though he was growing up in the war-torn place in Xiliang, he was still afraid when he was really facing death. He wandered for a long time and looked towards the north for a long time. After Ma Dai's stare, he pulled out the sword in his hand and prepared to wipe his neck and commit suicide.

但除了马岱之外,所有人都傻眼了.

这把剑竟然只有剑柄,没有剑锋.

"Haha." Ma Dai couldn't help laughing. The sword in Hu Zhen's hand had fallen to the ground, and he squatted down in exhaustion. Then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

陛下.......我知道错了.

诸葛瑾,陈登立刻明白了.

The two looked at each other and showed admiration. After this incident, can you see if Hu Zhen dares to do anything randomly?

怀县,郡守府,后宅内.

“谁在背后说我坏话?”

Zhang Xiu sneezes, reached out to rub his nose, then held the [gear] in his hand and looked at it with a smile.

没错,齿轮.

However, this thing was not invented by him, but it has existed since ancient times. During the Warring States Period, there were bronze gears.

别小看农耕文明啊,工匠是很聪明的.
